I forgot to pack the roundballs - but the substitute worked

Johnny Too-Tall · Nov 14, 2024

I decided to hunt with the 20 gauge fowler this am. I was in a rush and forgot to pack the bag of roundballs. I was looking through my truck for them and realized they were on the workbench at home 45 minutes away. I sat there angry as it was about to be daylight in 30 minutes. I decided to snack on some candy left over from Halloween. Then I seen it and got a cleaver Idea a jaw breaker is round and about the same size. I popped one out of package and yup close enough I loaded her up with the hard candy. Got to the stand and right after daylight a fat lone doe came out with no buck following at 30 yards. I cocked the hammer aimed and whammmo. She kicked up and fell over stone cold dead. The piece of round candy came apart inside the deer destroying the vitals but it worked. She was literally one "SWEET" tasting doe. Question is am I telling the truth or making up a story.

Tall tale from Johnny Too Tall.

Methinks it would of been a flaming wad of sugar flying out of the muzzle. Might be something for Black Powder Maniac Shooter to try though

least believable part of this is who still eats jawbreakers!

I remember seeing a video of someone shooting a giant jawbreaker from a hamade cannon. I think it was into a car door or something.

I met a guy once who was a professional storyteller, had business cards and everything. Quite the character and would get invited to events to bewilder guests with his tales. Even if he was paid or not was a matter of some debate. Anyways, the jaw breaker in a muzzleloader is just believable enough to make a guy think. Cool tale, thanks.

If it was true it would prove that ingesting sweets is bad for one's health...at least for deer!

Great story!

Was the deer a diabetic?

Did it break it’s jaw?

Patocazador · Nov 14, 2024

Definitely a bunch of BS IMO.

I would have to say that was a sweet shot

My youngest son, 7 years old, says you’re telling the truth!! Next boy up, 12 years, says he can’t decide!! Next up, 13 year old, thinks you’re full of hot air!!

I'm saying it's a story because I know the yellow ones won't work.

Wouldn't the mass be all off, ergo point of impact all off?

I killed a duck with a handfull of M&M's out of my smooth bore so I guess his story could be true.
